27 Feb 2014 21:39		Thanks!!!
17 May 2017 22:27		"Easy away" = Impossible? The only one that got that said wasn't from the normal way.
22 May 2017 13:27		I got the Pteradon achievement from just jumping really high on Cold Water
26 May 2017 21:24		Me too TheGreatMax
16 Mar 2018 21:30		Time machine achievement : see 'Ecco forum page'This game is excellent (great OST, various graphics, smooth gameplay, nice difficulty curve)... until you reach 'The tube'.
16 Mar 2018 21:32		"The tube" and "The machine" are ridiculously hard... and come on ! Restart "the machine" all over again when you get defeated by the last boss ??!! How mean is that !
10 Sep 2018 4:43		This game is terrifying...........

5 Jan 2019 7:16		Who made this set? Achievements are triggered by the launch of the game and from the viewing of the demo version. Im not talking about the achievement "Clear stage in The tube without taking damage". Where to play like TAS
24 Jan 2019 9:00		Need to completely redo this set
31 Mar 2019 19:35		Yay! Thanks to everyone who worked on fine-tuning these achievements in the last couple weeks!
31 Mar 2019 23:27		It twas me. Everything should be working great. Plz report and send me a pm if you find problems. I may not notice tickets.
2 Apr 2019 7:57		Thank you for continuing to fix the sets.
2 Apr 2019 18:36		Thank you for what you've done kdecks ! Great job for a great game !
6 Apr 2021 14:13		All the nostalgia I had for this game apparently was for the sequel instead. It feels too labyrinthic and repetitive (same as music), lack of checkpoints is unforgiving, and the last stage is... masochistic. Good thing they improved in Echo: TToT :)
26 Jul 2021 9:38		Odd how people doesn't come often here... Does Ecco scare people away so much? I mean, after going through "The Machine", I know better now and people is justified in not coming over, lmao.
22 Aug 2021 18:10		OMG, that last level is insane. All that memorization just to get killed right away on the final boss and have to start it all over again. You win game, you win.
8 Sep 2021 5:35		This is my first mastered game! I was playing through it because it's the game of the month on r/emulation, and after finishing the game I only had one achievement left ("Can't Touch This"), so I just went back and finished that one.It seems odd to me that there's no achievement for rescuing all 6(?) dolphins, and it wasn't clear what it did in-game either (although, I only rescued the first set of three, maybe both are needed to do something?).
